Chapter 4- The Recruit
I looked around taking in the site of all the Cullen's looking at me. They looked shocked. I looked around trying to find Edward. I found him. His eyes were like golf balls and his mouth was hanging open looking at me as if I was like his favourite kind of food. I giggled. That's exactly what I was. I was his favourite kind of dish.
"Hi guys, well Edward how long was I out for? Did your theory work?" I asked
"H... h... Hi Bella, u...umm... Yes my theory was correct. By the way I think you should look in the mirror. You look absolutely amazing." Edward said. Hmm I thought this will be interesting. I went over to the mirror. I looked into it and gasped. I couldn't believe that it was my reflection that was in the mirror. I was absolutely beautiful as Edward had described me. I couldn't believe that it was truly me standing there. Suddenly a gush of wind came in through the window. Everyone stiffened. A scent caught my nose. It was sickening. It smelt like blood. I crumbled to the ground. Edward rushed over to me.
"Bella, honey, what's wrong? Are you thirsty?" Edward's frantic voice asked
"No, Edward, I have an extremely sore throat, but I'm not thirsty, actually quite the opposite I'm starving. Also it's the smell of that scent. It smelt like blood. I can't stand it" I said. The Cullen's looked dumbstruck.
"Bella, What do you mean you're hungry? And what do you mean you can't stand the smell of blood? I hate to break it to you Bella, but were vampires and we love the smell of blood, all except me" Carlisle said. This was going to be difficult I thought.
"Carlisle, I mean as in I'm human hungry. I am like craving lasagna. I have got no idea why, I just am. Also I think I can't stand the smell of blood, because I never could when I was human." I said.
Carlisle's POV
Everything made sense now. The reason why Bella hadn't thrown herself out the window as soon as she caught the scent and go after the deer that was in the forest. But the reason on why she was craving human food was very strange to me. Although it could have been because she was very attached to human food and her human life. Maybe that was why. Hmm, but she'll still need to drink blood, well if she wants the extremely sore throat to go away I thought. I'm going to go and research this one.
Bella's POV
Well I thought. I'm officially the family freak. I don't like the smell of blood but I still need to drink it if I want my sore throat to go away. I also crave human food! What kind of freak am I? Edward suddenly wrapped his arms around me while the others had enough tact to leave the room. They
had all said that they were pleased that I was "officially" part of the family and what surprised me most was that even Rose had said that. I was on best friend/ close sister terms with her but even then I thought that she still wished for me to remain human. I was truly surprised by her reaction.
"Bella, Do you know how much I love you?" Edward said
"Yes, Edward, You constantly tell me. But it's still really nice to hear it all the same." I said
"Yes, well I love you more now than I have ever and that is basically impossible. You just constantly seem to amaze me. Your new found powers are amazing. I still can't read your thoughts, you hate the smell of blood and you crave human food. You are really the most amazing person I have ever met." Edward said. Compassion and love filled his voice.
"Thank you, Edward. I love you so much and you don't how much it means to me that you were the one to change me. Thank you" I said.
"No problems, love" Edward said as he bent down his head and brought his mouth to mine. We kissed for what seemed like ages until Alice came rushing into my room. This almost didn't stop us, but when we saw the face that Alice was wearing we broke apart.
"Alice, what's wrong?" Edward asked.
"Edward, Bella! The Volturi are on their way! But that's not all. They're chasing another vampire. She looks about 16 or 17. She's about Esme's height; she's pale, has got beautiful caramel waist long hair, slim and has got non vegetarian eyes." Alice said while panicking.
"Alice, when you say the Volturi, do you mean all of the Volturi, or just Demetri, Jane, Alec and Heidi?" Edward asked. I could tell he was silently praying that it was only them.
"Umm, well Edward... You're not going to like this. There's Demetri, Jane, Alec, Heidi, that receptionist that was in Volterra when we there... Umm... what's her name? Ah now I remember Gianna and Felix also not to mention that Aro is with them" Alice said. She hurried at the last part.
"WHAT! THAT MANY OF THE VOLTURI ARE HERE IN THE STATES! NOT TO MENTION HERE IN WASHINGTION! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER, ALICE?" Edward yelled. He was now shaking with fury.
"Edward, calm down! Leave Alice alone she obviously just found out." I said
"Tell me, Alice about this girl." I said to Alice.
"Well I'm not too sure bout what the Volturi wants with her only that they want her and that they're chasing her. I also know that she's incredibly beautiful like the rest of us, she's does not take in our diet. I think that she also has got some incredible power. I mean otherwise why would The Volturi chasing her?" Alice said.
"Hmm." Edward thought. "Alice you better go get everyone ready, so that we can take on our defence mode, for if they arrive here. I'm going to tell Bella all about our defence style and briefly teach her some things." Edward said and with that Alice left the room.
As Edward taught me things, I let everything sink in, I was a vampire. I couldn't believe it. I was now wondering about the girl that Alice mentioned. I wondered what she had done to aggravate them.
Random's POV
I was now going through the wilderness of... What was the town called? Ahhhh that's right it was called Forks I had just past the sign that had said "Welcome to Forks". I stopped for a second and focused my thoughts. They were 25 kilometres behind me. Hmm that gives me about 10 minutes in between us. Not long I thought. I have to make sure that gap gets bigger. I took off at top speed. Suddenly I came across a sweet scent. Eight sweet scents. No! It couldn't be! I think I have won the lotto! If it was who I thought it was then I definitely have won the lotto. That's right I now remember Aro saying that he was going to send someone to check up on... what was her name? Ahhhh that's right it was Bella Swan. They were going to send people to check up on Bella Swan, to see if the Cullen's had fulfilled their promise in making Bella a vampire. From what I had heard of the coven, they had eight currents members, and they were all 'family' well as close to family as you get. They were also none human blood drinkers. Or vegetarians as they called themselves. I remember overhearing Aro talk about them. I must admit I was very intrigued by their lifestyle. I didn't exactly like taking human's lives away just so they could satisfy mine. I decided on following the trail that lead to the Cullen's. I knew that I was going to have to be quick. I was also going to have to be quick on explaining why I am there and why I have such high ranked Volturi members after me. I sighed. This could be troublesome.
Edwards POV
She was coming, the random that Alice was talking about; after a glance of her thoughts I saw she was concerned; she had to explain to Carlisle something about being chased by the Volturi. Yeah that was something that NEEDED explaining. Hmm. I thought. This was going to be interesting. I can't wait to see how this plays out.
Random's POV
I was now 800 metres from their house. I was starting to worry about what I was going to say. I guess I'll just have to tell them the truth. That at least gets you somewhere. Well most of the time I thought. I was now entering the front yard of their house. It was amazing. Beautiful and old at the same time. Wait I thought I don't have time to admire the house. Got to find Carlisle. It seemed as though Carlisle and his family knew that I was looking for them. Because they suddenly stepped out of their house and approached me. Here goes nothing.
Carlisle's POV
There stood in front of me. A beautiful young lady of about 16 or 17. This must me the person that Alice was talking about.
"Hello, how may I help you? My name is Carlisle Cullen and this is my family: Esme, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, Edward and Bella." I said as welcoming as I thought I could sound. Her eyes seemed to linger on Bella, but then she was caught from her trance. She looked panicked as she remembered what she was here to do.
"Hello, my name is Regan; I don't have a last name. I was an orphan when I was human. I ran away from my orphanage in England.
I travelled for about a year before the Volturi found me when I was in Rome; they were on "business" when Jane came across me.
I was nearly dead from starvation when Jane found me. She was thirsty at the time and I think you can guess what happened next, anyway, while she was in the middle of... eating me, Demetri pulled her off. He said that they had business to attend to and that they were just going to have to bring me with them and that Jane could get a 'snack' when they were done.
As Jane didn't get to finish her snack I transformed. I awoke in Volterra three days later. Aro was standing over. He looked curious. He wanted to know what powers I had and know everything about me and my past. I told him. I don't know why I did it. But I just did. Three days had passed since I had awakened in Volterra. Aro was growing anxious because my powers hadn't shown. But then suddenly Demetri sneaked up on me. I could feel him not just emotionally but it was like I tracked him even though I was talking to Aro and even though I hadn't turned around once since talking to Aro. I just knew he was there. He then suddenly pounced on me. Well tried to pounce on me, I moved before he could catch me. He fell flat on his face. He then turned and got up and before he could do anything I had said in the sternest voice that I had to go away and leave me alone I did that while projecting feelings of hatred. What surprised everyone even Demetri next was that he did just that. He turned away and left me alone. Aro was of course extremely excited. He had just discovered my powers. I could track people, I was an empath and best of all I could command people to do the things I wanted them to. I was Aro's "secret weapon" as he called me. I lived with the Volturi for 60 years before I finally thought to myself that enough was enough. I was going to leave and make for the states. I was sick of the Volturi and I wanted to belong to a real family. Even though I am actually 77, I actually feel 17 at heart. I've never had an actual family. I've always wanted one though. So I told Aro that I was leaving. He of course would not allow it, and I was then forced to use my powers on them. I told him that I was leaving and was never coming back because I hated it there. He was very offended by that. He decided himself that he would come and hunt me down and put an end to my life. I have been running away from them for a week now. I was coming into Forks when I came across eight scents. I knew that you guys lived around here cause I had heard Aro talking about coming to visit Bella in Forks to see if she was changed. So naturally when I came across your covens scent I was intrigued. I wanted to come and see you. See I thought about it a lot while I was on my way here. I was wondering if you would accept me into your coven. I know that I'm not a vegetarian as you put it, but I can change, to be honest, I've never actually had any interest in human blood. I only feed when the Volturi forced me to. So please will you accept me into your family. I've never actually had a family and I want one more than anything in the world" Regan said, she seemed like a person that I would want as my "daughter" but I had to discuss it with my family. I also needed to discuss with Edward to make sure what she was saying was the truth.
"Regan, will you give me and my family a minute to discuss this. Please" I asked
"Yeah. Sure- umm i'm sorry but the volturi will be here in five minutes, soo yeah... Regan replied, her voice traied away a bit and she looked uncomfortable
"Thank you, Regan." I replied. She was definitely one I would want in my family. I could already see it in her at the moment. She was a kind, clever, caring and friendly person. One who the whole family would get along with and trust.
We all went into the kitchen. All except Regan who was still in the lounge room.
"Everyone what do you think about, Regan, joining the family?" I said
Everyone said yes. Edward had said that everything she said was true and would gladly have her in the family. Emmett was just glad to have a new person to wrestle; of course he thought that she would make an awesome sister. Esme was worried about the poor child not having ever had any parents. She wanted with all her heart to become Regan's mum. Rosalie was fine with whatever everyone else said. This surprised me. Out of the whole family, Bella coming into the family had changed her the most. Jasper wanted to have another sister and was also glad that there was another person in the world that could relate to him in an empath way. Alice, well let's just say all she could think about was all the shopping trips that her and her new sister were going to have and Bella could see that she and Regan would get along great and Bella also said that she would be more than happy to have her as a sister.
Now that I had gotten everyone's answers, we all went back into the lounge room.
"Regan, I would just like to say, welcome to the family"
I went up to her and gave her a fatherly embrace. She was shocked by this but returned it.
"Thank you so much everyone. I can't believe you said yes. I finally have a family. You don't know how much this means to me." Regan said.
Esme went up to her and gave her a hug.
"Regan, honey, I'm just glad that you have a family" she said.
Suddenly Regan looked at me.
"They're here, " she said and with that Aro came into sight.
"Carlisle how nice it is to see you again. Your home is truly beautiful and Bella you don't know how pleased I am to see that you are now one of us."Aro said. He then turned to face Regan "But as for you Regan. All I can say is that you life ends here." And with that as a signal for the Volturi. They pounced. All with one thing in mind. To kill Regan.
Please review. Oh yeah could you please vote on my poll for what you think should happen in my version of Breaking Dawn. Thanks for reading. To find out what happens next chapter all you have to do is continue reading.lol. Next Chapter- The outcome.
